Silvery snow covered the branches of the elder trees, and was blown down by the early wind.
"Winter has just begun, and it snowed three times in a row." Ranliu said as he picked up a chinchilla fur cloak with a wide edge of apricot color and put it on a fifteen or sixteen year old girl in front of him: " Winters in recent years have become increasingly difficult.”
The girl's face is only the size of a palm, and she looks fragile. She only has one pair of eyes, which are clearly black and white and are very lively.
"Third Miss, do you have to go out with Master Gu today?"
"Um."
"Everything else is fine, but my maid heard that in recent days, people from the Lingdu clan have sneaked in to cause trouble, which is not peaceful. Isn't the third lady worried?"
"What are you afraid of?" The girl's expression was extremely calm: "Our Tao family is neither a wealthy family nor a noble family. Seeing that we can't even keep our position in a spiritual family, why is it worth abandoning the family and taking the risk to come here?"
"Miss Third, what she said seems reasonable." Ran Liu stroked her head and thought for a while: "But when I hear this, my servant seems to be trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy my own prestige?"
"Furthermore, although our family is not well-off, the Gu family is a family of meritorious deeds, and Young Master Gu Heng is famous for his trouble-making physique. If you go out with him, my maid will not feel at ease."
"There are so many things on your mind, be careful of hair loss, insomnia and wrinkles." The girl put on her hood and lifted up a green bamboo box: "Let's go first. If mother asks, just say I'm going to visit my eldest sister - millions Don’t get involved.”
Ranliu: "My maid, thank you for the reminder!"
A path paved with bluestones leads directly to the back door. The girl looked around and saw no one, then gently opened the door and saw the man guarding outside.
"Xiao Lele, why did you come just now?" Gu Heng said with a straight face, saying he was blaming, but the smile in the corner of his eyes betrayed him.
"In half a quarter of a night, people will not die, and your share is indispensable." Tao Le was not moved at all: "Tell me, what is the condition of the patient this time?"
"Let me tell you, what I found this time is a wealthy businessman." Gu Heng became interested, stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and reached in front of Tao Le: "The deposit alone is this amount. After the treatment, there will be more Thank you very much."
"Five spiritual light stones?" Tao Le nodded: "That is indeed not a small amount."
"It's not five yuan, it's fifty yuan!" Gu Heng said excitedly: "Xiao Lele, if this order is completed, it will be enough to cover our two months' income!"
Tao Le rolled his eyes at him: "Young Master Gu is joking. Although these spiritual stones are a lot to me, they are just a drop in the bucket to you, the Gu family, and you don't deserve to pay so much attention to them."
"Can my hard-earned money be the same as what they gave me for free?" Gu Heng said dissatisfied: "It's fine if others don't know. Xiao Lele, you look at me like this. It's so sad. "
"Come on, don't act in front of me." Tao Le didn't accept his trick at all: "Hurry up and lead the way. Once you are cured, go home as soon as possible. I also want to fix the hot pot at night."
"No problem." Gu Heng led her through the streets and alleys, from the northwest to the southeast corner of Lingdu, and then entered a very remote foot shop.
It doesn't make sense that he is obviously a wealthy person, but he lives in such a remote and humble place.
However, neither Tao Le nor Gu Heng raised any objections to this.
Climbing up the creaking stairs, I met several men and women in strange clothes. I looked at them variously, but in the end I couldn't hold back and didn't dare to strike up a conversation.
Gu Heng's appearance and clothing were too bright, and the heavy mountain of spiritual swords in his hands were too eye-catching, reminding them that they could not afford to offend the two people in front of them.
This is why Tao Le likes to partner with him, it saves trouble and worry.
"This is it." Gu Heng pushed open the door to the inner room on the third floor.
A gloomy and cold aura immediately spread out, making Tao Le shiver.
Two strands of black energy that were as solid as spirit snakes wrapped around their necks and pulled them into the room.
The door was closed, but the room was filled with cold fog, making it difficult to see anything clearly.
"Who is it?" A solemn voice seemed to ring in their ears: "Think about it carefully, you only have one chance."
"We are the little saints who will be famous forever. Didn't you accept our hidden flower and pay the deposit?" Gu Heng said very quickly.
"Ha." The voice whispered faintly behind his neck: "Is this you, the little sage who will be remembered for eternity?"
"Your ability to understand really needs to be improved." Gu Heng sighed: "It's already said that there are two of us - I am Wan Shi Liu Fang, and she is the Little Sage."
The hidden guy didn't expect such an answer, and was speechless for a moment.
Tao Le spoke at this moment: "You are seriously injured, but I can treat it."
"Can you see?" When the voice sounded again, it was already wandering in the room.
"Don't waste your energy on nonsense. Treat it early and enjoy it early." Her tone was calm: "But, I have a request."
"If you are really sure, no matter how many spiritual light stones you want, it won't be a problem."
Tao Le shook his head: "We are not profiteers, and the agreed price will not change."
"oh?"
"Let him leave and I can stay alone."
"Haha." The man laughed softly. His voice was not as cold as before, but rather pleasant to the ear.
"I see, the little girl is very brave. Why, this eternal beauty is your lover?"
"What are you talking about!" Gu Heng was the first to jump up: "We are just friends, good friends who treat each other sincerely!"
"That's it. Little girl, what are you going to say?"
"He's right. To be more precise, we are actually united for mutual benefit, and separated if not."
"Xiao Lele, how can you be so heartless?" Gu Heng looked dissatisfied.
"Okay. Go back quickly, you're in the way."
"You don't want to drive me away and then take the opportunity to raise the price, do you?" Gu Heng said doubtfully: "Xiao Lele, we are serious businessmen, so don't ruin your brand for small profits."
"Shut up." Tao Le ignored him: "If he doesn't leave, I can't cure him."
"As you wish." The door opened, and Gu Heng was blown out by a strong wind, and was immediately locked outside.
He turned around and knocked on the door for a while, but didn't get any response, and then he left the foot shop with three steps.
"The person has gone far." The voice said: "You are really interesting. You are obviously doing it for his own good, but you don't want the other person to appreciate it."
"It's the continuous damage caused by the spiritual light spell." Tao Le changed the subject: "If you waste any more empty energy, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you."
"So you already know." The cold mist became thinner and thinner, revealing the figure of a man sitting on the bed: "No wonder we have to drive people away."
"It's just that, since you have seen through my identity, you should also know your own fate."
The man's figure gradually became clearer. Xuan's clothes are like ink, his silver hair is disheveled, his eyebrows are slightly frowned, his face is pale, and there are waves of light flowing in his starry eyes, and there is an indescribable romantic attitude.
Tao Le only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze: "I treat the disease and you pay. Wouldn't it be simpler?"
The man's eyes fell on her neck, which was as delicate as suet, and he sighed: "The Abandoned Clan and the Spiritual Clan are at odds with each other."
"So what?" Tao Le spread out his right hand, and the emerald green light in it grew brighter and brighter:
"Being born in the same world, there is no need to distinguish between superior and inferior. Being a member of the Abandoned Clan is not something you can choose; and being born as a Spirit Clan is not my original wish."
"I can't control who you have a grudge with. But if I accept your money, you will be cured."
As she spoke, the bright emerald green light in her hand slowly floated towards the man's eyebrows. (End of chapter)
